Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter.
- Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms.
Step 2: Prepare the Crab Filling
- In a medium bowl, mix together crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Biscuits
- Scoop out a small amount of biscuit dough (about 2 tablespoons) and flatten it in your hand.
- Place a spoonful of the crab mixture in the center, then fold the dough around it, sealing the edges.
- Place each filled biscuit seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough and filling are used.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake the biscuits for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Step 5: Make the Lemon Butter
- While the biscuits bake, whisk together melted butter, lemon juice, garlic powder, and parsley.
Step 6: Brush and Serve
- When the biscuits come out of the oven, immediately brush them with the lemon butter mixture.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
